The Cabin |
Next to the main farmhouse is a 2 story cabin the date of
construction is uncertain.
At this current time this dwelling is not habitable but it could easily be made so with some relatively minor work which would mostly include cleaning and painting the interior.
The layout is that on the ground floor there is a sitting/dining area, a kitchen and the bathroom.
The top story is one big room which could accommodate 4 people sleeping very comfortably and a small balcony. The cabin is ideal for having family and friends stay over.

Ariel view of the land |
The neighboring properties are all planted with olives, grapes, peaches, plums and other types of fruit trees, thus indicating the soil is fertile and suitable for growing just about anything.
The property has water (irrigation) rights of about 4 hours every 8 days which does not sound a lot, but given the irrigation canals are very wide and deep by comparison to other farms, they carry a large volume of water in a short space of time.
The irrigation canals that water the land would need some work to get them up to optimal condition but they serve reasonably well as they stand.
